Unlocking Xbox Achievements may soon get you free MSP

4.5
If you are what's commonly referred to as an "Achievements Whore", you may soon have a real incentive to rake in those Xbox Gamerscore points besides feeling good about yourself on Xbox forums.

Microsoft has teased that it will soon be offering new 'rewards' based on the unlocking of Achievements in Xbox 360 games.
The announcement came from the official Twitter feed of the Xbox Live Rewards website, which teased, "Coming Fall: a new way to earn Rewards based on your Achievements!"

Further prying for details was dismissed by the MS rep, but those familiar with the Xbox Live Rewards site will know that it's a loyalty program that offers free Microsoft Points as rewards for completing specific and varying tasks.

That considered, we expect some Achievement-related MS Point rewards coming this Autumn. And that sounds pretty good to us.

This is amazing. I have 24,000 GS and I mean, if I could get 100 MSP for every 1,000 I WOULD BE RICH IN MSP because I don't go for achievements :P

What if people start modding their Gamerscore to get the free MS points?

Symbiote If they go through with this I have a feeling the achievements are going to be harder to beat.


I doubt it. If it is msp that they give, it'll probably be a small amount.

Did anyone else think the gamerscore you earned was also Microsoft Points when they started out? Oh man, I remember that.

If they end up doing that then I will have a good reason to play single player in most games

The way I see this working is for every 1k Gamerscore or a certain specific amount will net you anywhere between 20 and 100MSP.
They say that we could get achievement related MSP but they'll probably keep it as low as they can to prevent dishing out large numbers of points, especially with gamesavers and profile modding.

I don't recen thay should cuz because thay will lose money from people not buying it from a store.
